Fox News anchor Shepard Smith scoffed at comparisons between the FBI’s treatment of Hillary Clinton with their treatment of former Trump National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn.
And he did so by disparaging the reporting of one of the network’s most respected investigative journalists, Catherine Herridge.
Recent reports have suggested Flynn was coerced into forgoing a lawyer during his interview with the FBI, while agents sought to make him relaxed during the process in the hopes of getting him to lie. Flynn was unaware that he was under official review, did not have counsel present, and thought he was just shooting the breeze with fellow lawmen. The interview eventually led to a guilty plea on one count of making false statements.
The revelations have led to comparisons of Clinton’s interview, in which the FBI allowed her to have multiple lawyers and aides present to help defend herself and was conducted in a manner that former Director James Comey described as “unusual.”
Herridge noted in a segment with Shep that critics have made the comparisons between the two interviews and the host responded by acting like a child, rolling his eyes, interrupting Herridge’s report, and generally speaking like an ignorant, hardcore fan of the former First Lady.
It was, in a word, embarrassing. Watch:
Shep knows Hillary was treated differently, he just doesn’t want it revealed
Herridge is an award-winning Chief Intelligence correspondent for Fox. Smith is, well … he’s a token lefty who often finds himself the butt of jokes by others at his own network.
Review this exchange and it doesn’t take long to realize who the professional is, and who the amateur Hillary fanboy is:
Smith: Seriously?
Herridge: Yeah, that’s what (critics) point to.
Smith: Well, let them point. I mean Hillary Clinton, seriously?
Herridge: The point with –
Smith: The point with that was that investigation is over, and we’re on to a new one.
Watching the entire clip reveals that Herridge was fair and balanced with her reporting. She noted that a man of Flynn’s stature should have known not to make false statements, no matter the relaxed atmosphere and lack of legal representation.
Shep would fire back by reading the Special Counsel’s rebuttal to the ‘Flynn was railroaded‘ defense word-for-word. What he fails to do, after dismissing the comparisons between Flynn and Clinton, is note the many pieces of evidence of crimes, lies, and wrongdoings on Hillary’s part.
There is no mention of her lies that she used a private email server for scheduling yoga classes. There is no mention of how she destroyed evidence using Bleach Bit, or physically destroyed devices with hammers. And there is no mention that the Obama State and Justice Departments aided and abetted her in covering up her illegal activity. That’s what a fair journalist would have mentioned because they were relevant to her interview.
Smith has been described by co-hosts at the network as “inaccurate” and/or “clueless” at times, traits clearly on display when placed up against an actual journalist in Herridge.
we all know what shep has full throated. he makes stormy daniels look decapitated by comparison
Shep should GO NOW-and not later.He defends the Dems every time he gets a chance,he cannot call himself a reporter,he is an announcer nothing more!
Shepard Smith, Judge Napolitano, and Neil Cavuto all need to check their biases at the door. Every time they speak, their disdain for President Trump becomes quite obvious. Shepard takes his malice to a whole new dimension because he’s supposed to be an unbiased journalist.
” Shep ” should go back to the steam baths with Obama…..
Just another INBRED Faggot Operative of the Democrat-Communist-Islamic-Nazi Terrorist Organization.
Smith is better suited for CNN, NBC, CBS or MSNBC. He is not a conservative, he’s an ultra left winger, and adores Hillary Clinton.
Nobody is surprised by this. Shep doesn’t have an objective bone in his body and was completely in the tank for Hillary.
I believe smith is auditioning for a “smear Trump” reporter job with cnn.
When this slime ball comes on, on Fox, I change the channel and I DO NOT support the advertisers!
Shep Smith should lose his show and know that by supporting Hillary on a FOX channel he is one of the most disliked and some just hate him who for all his view points and he is a DEM and has no place on FOX. Take him off since him coming out on TV he is nothing more than a GAY DEMOCRAT and that being said is nothing to be proud of. I think we all as viewers like FOX but when Shep shows come on we always have another better thing to watch.
Looks to me that Sheppie has his own agenda. Journalism is not the same as I was taught. Catherine Herridge is the epitome of a classy journalist, reports the facts, and doesn’t let ego get in the way! Shep, you’re part of the sheep!
Shep seems to relish in exposing Republican “corruption.”
Viewers are disgusted with “Shep’s” liberal leanings and his willingness to accept and promote fake news. Time for him to change networks.
Mr. Flynn’s acts were to defend U.S. foreign policy. Hillary’s acts were self serving and had nothing to do with defending the U.S.A. This Shep guy has to be a stooge or paid to be the Devil’s Advocate. Hillary interfered with US elections far more than the Russians ever did. It’s their job, not hers.
I meant to say that shep will not go against Hillary criminal behavior. he stands with her and the clinton crime family doing.
Does it surprise anyone that a anti trump person name shep on fox will not defend hillary criminal behavior- he has bash trump from the very beginning – why he is not sitting in a chair next to the lemon head on CNN I have to question the Fox upper management on their sanity. apparently the upper management of Fox is trying to be over the top on the PC crap with this guy- not in this order of PC crap, we have a flaming liberal gay guy – CNN has one up on fox with their gay guy – he is a flaming gay black guy called the lemon head who boy friend is a white gay guy- maybe Shep can have a black gay boy friend – Maybe Fox can equal out the PC crap against CNN by demanding Shep make out with a black gay guy –
Shepard, Quit acting so stupid, whoever you are listening to are lying to you. Hillary was so corrupt while she was in college that Alinsky didn’t want anything to do with her. She was fired from her first job, working with the WH commission on Watergate, because she was so corrupt. The woman is EVIL, How many deaths have there been, that the Clinton’s could have ordered? Someone that worked for the Clinton Foundation said he knew where the bodies are.
We don’t watch Shepard Smith, Haven’t do so for years due to his bias reporting. Don’t know why he is still on Fox News. He should be paired up with Juan Williams, another Clinton/Obama apologist who would not know the truth if it hit him in the face.
Sheppard Smith has been a hater of President Trump from the beginning. He is so Left he is falling off the earth. Anyone that has ever watched His show knows this. He is a bumbling IDIOT. He makes his own story up and actually believe’s what He is saying, Even tho Fox has him on, they do need some Idiot leftest like JUAN WILLAIMS N AND SHEPPARD SMITH, EVEN ON THE SHOW OUTNUMBERED THEY HAVE TO HAVE A LEFTEST ON THEIR. FAIR AND BALANCED , THAT IS WHAT THEY SAY SO YOU HAVE TO HEAR FROM THE DEMOCRATIC IDIOT’S THAT’S THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES. FOX HAS MORE CONSERVATIVES ON THAN ANY OTHER TV STATIONS.
Shepard Smith is the most annoying person on Fox News.
I’ve watched Fox News since it went on the air, and I watch hours a day. The one personality I have ‘NEVER watched Shepard Smith. Everything about him annoyed me, even BEFORE his liberal bias shone through. All of that, just to illustrate that I am no fan of Shepard Smith. But I AM a fan of civility, and I am very disappointed that some people on the political right are as capable of vile, ad hominem attacks as anyone on the left. I’ve always felt superior as a conservative, because we knew how to behave. Apparently, not all of us.
Shepard Smith LOL. If i had a name like that i would hate the world and lash out also . He’s a moron and Chris Wallace is a hard leftist everybody knows that , FOX sucks, i turned it off a long time ago .
I stopped watching Shepard Smith a long time ago. Hopefully those who support him thru viewership will discontinue watching him, in a word boycott!! That will affect Fox’s bottom line and he will be looking for another job!
He should go home to his lover boy and STAY there for good.
He’s nothing short of obnoxious.
I thought his name was spelled Shemp, funny guy not as funny as Curly but funny.
I have never liked Shep and thought FOX kept him around as their token Lib. I just turn FOX off when he is on. I am starting to like FOX less and less. I enjoyed Americas Newsroom, but now they have round table thing with Libs on it. If I want to listen to some jackass Liberal I can go to any of the other”Mainstream” Networks. I just switch to FOX Business or something else.
Well, that’s it. Shep has gone way too far. I’ve been turning him off for some time, but I now think I’ll have to quit Fox News altogether in protest, even though some of the other people are some of my favorites. But Shep has ruined the daytime coverage. And, I see by the above, that Chris Wallace agrees with Shep. Blech!.
I wonder…Would Shep be considered one of ‘Hillary’s Butt Boys’ by Mika ???
Why doesn’t this a bandit go to fake news CNN with the other a bandits sour puss Lemmon and Randy Andy, and take his matte Chris Wallace with him.
let’s ask mika what she thinks of don lemons buttboy shep,or i guess foxes token buttboy
Little Sheppy, the vile perverted creep, is the poster boy for the physical and mental hazards faced by Leftists and Communists, especially (((Big Media))) ones, that swallow AND have their sphincters over stretched, on a regular basis.
Get that freak OUTTA THERE !
AHR Agree with you totally!!!!!
Fox should ship Shep to Shanghai on a shuttlecraft!
can’t ship him he’s the token pillowbiter
Shep, you really don’t know that the investigation into to Hillary and the Foundation has and still is ongoing? Do you not know that she has been called back to testify.
Try checking out Judicial Watch (judicialwatch.org) and all they have uncovered by suing and using the Freedom Of Information Act.
And do you call yourself a journalist?
